VIDEO: An Officer was slightly injured this morning after being involved in an MVA. The officer was responding to a call on Kennedy Boulevard when his SUV – crossing over Clifton Avenue – T-boned a Verizon truck traveling East on County Line Road, dragging the truck approximately fifteen feet.
The driver of the Verizon truck and the police officer were transported via EMS to Kimball Medical Center with minor injuries.
Hatzolah responded to the call as well, but were cancelled after the parties involved initially refused medical attention. TLS-55/TLS-89/TLS-CCP/TLS-RM/HY
I just hope the officer wasn’t driving the way Officer Scanell claimed the Hatzolah member was(last week)!
Just a clarification on last comment-I was in no way making an accusation;just thinking out loud.
Does Anybody Know Which Officer It Was?
If you were in need of the police and Office Scanell responded , you would be talking out of the other side of your mouth. Be thankful that there are people who want to be police to protect and serve.
Hope the Officer and the Verizon employee will be alright.
Arent these two sentences a contadiction?
“The driver of the Verizon truck and the police officer were transported via EMS to Kimball Medical Center with minor injuries.
Hatzolah responded to the call as well, but were cancelled after the parties involved initially refused medical attention.”
To #6 The Article Says That They ” Initially” Refused Medical Attention. Which Means That Later On They Changed Thier Minds And EMS Was Called By Pd.

A speedy recovery to both the police office and verizon technician
when your using lights and sirens your suppose to come to a COMPLETE STOP if ur light is RED wait till everyone stops then go…doesnt seem like that officer did sucha thing
#8 is not an appropriate comment for a public forum
TO #9 – just saying before you jump to criticize – were you there to know that the verizon van didn’t jump the light?
to #10
bec if he did we would have known about it the blue curtain only comes down if there is somthimg to hid behind it
i was there! the van did NOT run a red! it was the cop’s fault tho he wont be accountable knowing LPD.
Can you hear me now….. good
NICE SUV
here we go.
dont know for a fact that the cop was driving unsafely, or should not have been, however i think it is quite clear that this is the norm for lkwd pd when responding to a call, yet no calls for action.
but g=d forbid if an emt is responding to a call – then we should throw the book at them…ridiculous…
I guess the hatsolah’s summons was bcause he almost killed another officer. And this police officer didn’t do it just almost killed a verizon driver and do to Scannell that’s ok! No traffic rules for them?
If the officer was wrong then he will receive a summons just like eveyone else!!!! There will be an internal investigation and punishment accordingly. If it is found that the officer is not at fault then he won’t be. But don’t think for one second that they don’t look for things the officers do wrong, the higher ups can’t wait for them to make mistakes or do something wrong!!!!!!!!!!
